Generations of Dolan women have been blessedтАФor cursedтАФwith the "sight," but none more so than four-year-old Jenna. To save Jenna from their wicked stepfather's greedy clutches, spinster Sophie Dolan kidnaps her little sister, poses as a widow with a young daughter, and accepts a job as schoolteacher in rough-and-tumble Tanglewood, Nevada.
To Sheriff Ridge Hawkins, the world is black and white, wrong and right, and nothing in between. If he gets wind of a kidnapper in his town, Sophie will lose the little girl she lovesтАж and her freedom.
Ridge knows the fiery redhead is wantedтАФby him. In fact, she's everything he ever wanted: strong, loving, and as passionate as a man could wish for. But when he discovers that Sophie is a virgin, and not Jenna's mother after all, he goes on a hunt to discover what else she's hiding. Will Ridge have to choose between the woman he loves and the law he believes in?USA Today best selling author Maureen Child is the author of more than ninety romance novels and novellas.
